Hong Kong, also known as the pearl of the orient, has always had a special place in my heart. After being on long absence from this bustling city, I’ll be making another trip this New Year. How exciting! The last few days have been rather fun for me - searching and reading reviews on Hong Kong hotel accommodations. In fact, after a chat with a friend who is a Hong Kong local, I have booked for my Hong Kong trip accommodation.

What I realize is that having a credit card is seriously convenient when you are traveling. Whenever you book an online accommodation, you would need a valid credit card to confirm and place your booking. Otherwise, you would need to go through the hassle of telegraphic transfer or sending a bank draft to the merchant. Some people go through the process of applying for balance transfer cards to avoid the high paying interest. If used wisely and carefully, having these plastic cards in your wallet can be a great help in many occasions, especially when you are traveling.
